Arsenal injury news and return dates for Aston Villa clash
Injury Update on Arsenal Players and Return Dates vs Aston Villa – Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, received a significant boost in terms of injury updates as his team gears up to face Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.
The upcoming match, slated for Sunday afternoon, is set against the backdrop of a fiercely competitive Premier League title race.
Following a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg, Arsenal is gearing up for another tough encounter. Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s recent 2-1 victory over Lille in the Europa Conference League underscores their form and competitiveness.
Arteta shared his thoughts on Aston Villa’s progress under their former manager Unai Emery, acknowledging the consistent and impressive performances the team has delivered. Aston Villa’s involvement in European competitions adds further complexity to the upcoming clash.
As Liverpool and Manchester City are expected to secure wins against Crystal Palace and Luton Town respectively, the pressure is on Arsenal to maintain their momentum with a victory. In light of these developments, we has provided a comprehensive update on Arsenal’s injury status, ensuring fans are informed ahead of the crucial fixture.
Gabriel Magalhaes suffered a knock during Arsenal’s match against Brighton last weekend, but he bounced back to play in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Despite also taking a blow to the head from Harry Kane, the 26-year-old defender appeared to be unharmed.
Injury: Knock.
Arteta provided an update saying, “We’ve got one more day to prepare the match. We will see tomorrow if everyone is available. We have some but hopefully with another day we’ll be okay.”
Potential return date: Arsenal vs. Aston Villa (Home) – April 14.
Jurrien Timber has been on the road to recovery since sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest back in August. He made a solitary appearance in the Community Shield fixture against Manchester City.
Timber has been actively participating in team training sessions since before the recent international break. Although Arteta expressed hope for his return before the end of the season, Timber was notably absent from the squad for matches against Brighton and Bayern.
Injury: Knee.
Arteta provided an update, stating: “Still, he’s got a few steps to make. He needs to play at least a game with the 23s. We’re going to have an in-house game too soon.
He’s done everything in training, now it’s about getting him match fit, having people around him, and competing in a football match, which is different from training. From what we’ve seen in training and the time that he was fit, he’s going to have a big, big impact in the team.”
Potential return date: Unknown.
